The Ottawa Jewish Community Foundation has launched a transformative philanthropic initiative that weaves together our core values — tzedakah, Tikkun Olam, and community dedication — through meaningful family philanthropy.
 

Grandparents Legacy Initiative 

Some gifts transcend time — the Grandparents Legacy Initiative, supported by Sharon and David Appotive, lets you create moments that will echo through generations.

Your grandchild’s fund will be a testament to love, generosity, and enduring Jewish values passed from one generation to the next.

Create a Lasting Legacy for Your Grandchildren

Open a fund in your grandchild’s name today, and the Grandparents Legacy Initiative will match your contribution, increasing your impact at key Jewish life moments.

From birth to b’nai mitzvot to graduation and beyond, the matching program amplifies your generosity, ensuring your gift grows with them. (See table for details.)

This isn’t just philanthropy — it’s a bridge between generations. Your grandchildren won’t just hear about your values; they’ll live them, understand them, and carry them forward. Start their legacy today!

** To add an additional grandchild to an existing fund, the cost is $300, with a matching contribution of $100.
